Welcome to San Bernardino Valley College. Over the last 85 years, hundreds of thousands of students have chosen to start their future here on the Mt. Vernon campus and proceeded to become doctors, attorneys, teachers, entrepreneurs, musicians, chefs, electricians, mechanics, and so much more.
From brushing up on basic math and reading/writing skills to specialized technical training programs and everything in between, SBVC has something for everyone. We provide dozens of certificate and degree programs that lead students to transfer and/or employment preparation. In addition, the college offers a variety of valuable student services programs which provide financial and academic assistance along the way.
Community colleges like San Bernardino Valley College can be the starting point of your career path, and an education earned here can also serve as the key to your own financial success and security. As the largest provider of workforce training in the state and nation, community colleges like SBVC are focused on developing the skilled workers who fuel the economic engine of our community. In fact, those who earn an associate’s degree will have average lifetime earnings beyond $1.6 million—a full $400,000 more than the typical high school graduate.
Great things are happening at SBVC on a daily basis. The college boasts award-winning student success programs, championship-quality athletic teams, and innovative faculty and staff focused on helping students achieve their educational dreams in newly-constructed classrooms and labs.
I am proud to have the opportunity to serve our 12,500 students and this wonderful community. All of us at San Bernardino Valley College look forward to supporting and expanding our time-honored mission— providing quality education and services to a diverse community of learners!
